Comedy Culture NZ is an award-winning, independent production company that champions joyful, comedic theatre, built by and for like-minded performers and audiences. Recognising the barriers that queer, differently‑abled, and neurodivergent artists face in mainstream Comedy spaces, we’ve created a space that values risk-taking, community-building, and a good, hearty belly laugh, all while striving for change. It's a platform where artists can push boundaries, explore new ideas, and share their authentic selves while audiences soak up laughter, love, and contagious, unapologetic energy. No part of the performance space gets overlooked, with hospitality and warmth being a priority, catering for both audiences and performers alike, from the tech booth to the green room.

Comedy Culture NZ regularly produce lineup shows such as Femmes & Thems Comedy (Winner best regular show Wellington 23/24, Welly Comedy Awards and best Live Comedy Show, NZ Comedy Guild Awards 2025), Can’t Think Straight, and the Big Queer Improv Party, and are always ready to support the community of Comedy Culture performers' projects too.
